2. Delivery
Content
Module One - This training will cover the knowledge and skills practice needed for teachers to operate a SMART Board at a proficient level.
Module Two - This training will be an introduction to SMART Notebook software. The content of this program will consist of knowledge and skills practice in using the work area, tool bar, properties tab and page sorter tab. Participants will be given time to adapt a worksheet/activity that is currently taught using an overhead projector, for use with a SMART Board. Prerequisite: Basic understanding of SMART Board toolbar. Participants should save their worksheet as a PDF prior to attending training session.
Module Three - The content of this module will consist of knowledge and skill practice in using the attachment tab and gallery tab. Participants will be given time to create a student centered lesson. Prerequisite: Basic understanding of SMART Notebook Software and/or completion of Module Two training
Method
Module One: OJT
Module Two & Three: Face to Face, Instructor Lead In-service with an emphasis on hands-on training
Training Time
Module One: as needed
Module Two & Three: initial training = one 6 hour in-service day, OJT as needed
Constraints - Prior to January 2010, the biggest constraint is lack of access to proper equipment.
Other constraints include:
Terminal Objective: When appropriate, WMS teachers will choose to use a SMART board to deliver instruction to students, instead of a traditional overhead projector.
Module One - WMS teachers will be able to operate a SMART board, at a proficient level, in their classrooms, for the purpose of delivering instruction to students.
Module Two - WMS teachers will be able to use SMART Notebook software, at a proficient level, for the purpose of delivering instruction to students.
Module Three - WMS teachers will be able to create interactive SMART Notebook lessons, for use with their students.
4. Materials
Participants will have access to Hands-On Practice Guides, Assessment Checklists, Training Videos and Training Documents through Moodle, the district's course management system.
Slide presentation will be developed in Notebook software.
5. Who is involved
B. Hartranft - Trainer & Instructional Designer
J. Rothenberger - Secondary Technology Coordinator
MS Technology Team Members - OJT Trainers
M. Smith - MS Principal
6. Administration & Evaluation
This training program will be administered through the district's in-service program.
The designer will be responsible for reviewing data and updating training material.
Evaluations will include the district's in-service reaction evaluation form, a pre and post training skill survey, and an informal peer observation.
Participants will be held accountable and evaluated by the MS principal through formal observations.
